you are aware, I have advised them concerning the first part. Insofar as the
latter part of that message is concerned, on the occasion of the interview

Furthermore,
Ambassador KURUSU and myself, at their request, are scheduled to have an
interview, as already announced, with Secretary of State HULL, at 8:00 P. M.
today, the 22nd.
